Online Education industry is a scam in India - high fees ($500-$1500 range) along with low wage mediocre teachers!

It doesn't matter if a platform has more content than anyone can watch on their lifetime. What matters is, how much content worth watching a platform has.

Think about this - for watching GoT I had to subscribe to HBO and to watch some Marvel movie I go to Disney Plus. I keep on switching.

Ah one more paid subscription service to consume more content and waste more time...no thanks! I think as more of these services are launched, torrents will gain more popularity. Not everyone is going to subscribe to everything. Maybe a group of friends will share accounts but that is it

Yeah, Facebook pages are pay for view platform. Paying for FB does not make any sense if you are a blog or something

Do facebook Like button really matter anymore? I mean my page has over 5000 likes but there's almost nil traffic on my blog through my page. I have removed like button from my website and nothing has been impacted

It's about time they broke Google up. Google alone has too much power on our news and information. How do we not know they are not abusing their power?

Be shadow banned by Fb & Google and your online presence is dead. You can scream and scream all you want but no one will hear you online.

I used to use Snapchat previously, but all my friends (school, college, etc) started posting on IG stories rather than on Snapchat. My snapchat became a ghost town, and I shifted as well.

Still active on Reddit, but its more of community than a tool for personal relations. Android user so no iMessage. Slack & IRC not good to connect with school friends.

What I mean to say is the country I am in Facebook has a complete monopoly in our social life. And I am sure even in the US people cannot leave FB ecosystem.

Facebook is a one-man show. Zuckerberg owning 60% of the company and no one can say anything to him. Moreover, one man has the entire monopoly over our entire online social life. Other networks have come and failed. Anti Trust regulators should seriously open Facebook's file and break it.

Not really, think of Chromium as a developer version of chrome. It may be open source but it still maintained by Google. Only alternative shift to Firefox.

People don't really have an alternative to Facebook currently. Even if I leave Facebook, I still am tied to their ecosystem - Instagram, Whatsapp. And let's be honest, everyone is there. If you want to be in touch with someone you need to be on Facebook's platform. But Google is much easier to leave. Make Firefox your default browser and make DDG your default search engine.

Actually, the internet has become too commercialized. But the problem is the top 1% driving all the revenue. And they are using this revenue to shape the web which is profitable to them.

Brave's co-founder is the guy invented JS. I use Firefox often only use Brave to test whether my website will run on Chrome.

If this becomes a reality, we as a tech community must do our part. We must personally leave chrome, ask all our friends and family to stop using chrome and switch to Firefox or Brave. Really show Google what we as a community can do.

I agree...I am talking about the data releaed by Google to prove its not a Monopoly. The only reason Google is not considered a Monopoly in laws eyes is that people have the option but they are not shifting. Like chrome supports changing of Search engines. The only argument can be raised against is Google is on Chrome, that everyone is using Chrome and Google products are not working properly on non-Chrome based browsers

Google is a clear monopoly, there's no doubt about it. It has a 70% browser market share, 70% market share in the search ecosystem. Even though their service is good and people are happy, I think they need to be broken down for the sake of keeping an open internet. Even Facebook for that matter. That's my opinion

The last point. I think its the number 1 thing every new founder should know. Getting success on the first try is tough and very rarely people achieve that. In fact, Microsoft was Bill's second business

One of the first thing I learned in the IT industry...do not delete any data no matter what the circumstance is! And I believe internet companies whose life and soul is data would not want to delete it

Boards/collections are just glorified marketing terms used to convey that Pinterest has something new to offer. Alternatively, I can create a group chat on Insta or I can create a private subreddit and share the interesting links with the people I want to share. I can create multiple Insta chats and subreddits each for different topics.

250 million people may be using Pinterest currently, but I don't think Pinterest can maintain this position with just one product. It's outdated and most of the content is just copied from elsewhere. More and more people are shifting to Instagram/Reddit.

I personally know people who were using Pinterest back in 2015-2016 but have since then shifted to Instagram.

Do people really use Pinterest? I never found their website useful.

DDG is much better to get a wider scope of search results while Google is good for personal things. Most the old forums and post do come in the first DDG search, but not on the first Google search. I have started to hate Google's Personalised filter bubble.

>When designing a critical system such as an aircraft, you must include human authority into it

This is where Boeing messed up big time. According to the article they only had 2 AoA sensor, completely missing the fact that what happens if one sensor fails and which is correct. Airbus has 3, but IMO a critical component like an AoA sensor there should be 5 + additional inputs from the artificial horizon should be considered.

>You cannot design an unoverrideable automatic mechanism.

Yes, it makes sense. Even a complete automatic mechanism would need functionality to override in case things go completely haywire.

The airline manufacturers have to push for automatic systems as they are the one of the features that sells.

One of a close friend of mine who works at Airbus said that the company believes the next gen aircrafts would only require a single person in the cockpit, and everything will be handled through automations.

Airbus aircrafts are more automated than Boeing. If Boeing does not work on the automation part, it could loose to Airbus. Airbus faced AoA problem back in 2009, when Quantas flight suddenly dropped from the air. But they were able to patch it up within a month and no reported case has come up since then.

So I believe Boeing working on Automation is a good thing, and they should be able to fix it up.

This is the conclusion I too could come up with. But whatever, I think these 2 737 crashes have pushed fully automatic flights a bit further.

What's the difference between truly self driving and the current self-driving?

Yes, it was, in fact, his advice on working in isolation is one of the best things I have taken. That book has improved my productivity by 12% (i measured)

What Facebook has been doing should be kept on check. Private data of teenagers for the past 3 years, targeting children less than 10, someone should really sue Facebook and slap Mark's face

I was in a similar phase (not schizophrenia) but others yes. Meditation helped me a lot. Going out and meeting new people will also help you.

Depression happens due to you stuck in one place, with no way out. Just go out daily, experience new things you are good to go. Stay away from smoking, drinking, movies, tv shows, porn, and interent in general for a while. Trust me you will be back up in no time.

And lastly exercies daily. Go for a morning run (around 6 am) and then join a gym or a fighting class.

hahaha...Lord Google is in everything
